“The current training ground at Melwood was redeveloped in 2001”

The Reds announced the plans yesterday and they could be completed by 2019 if the development is approved after a public consultation next month.

The current training ground at Melwood was redeveloped in 2001 but the club now want an improved base and plan to buy 14 acres of a playing field opposite their academy and build over land at the back of the current facility.
